“Short stay in a good value hotel in central Florence. Convenient for railway station.”
Our room was spacious but the bed wasn’t very comfortable. We did have a nice bistro table and chairs on a balcony that we could sit on outside. It was fairly quite on a side road but accessible to all of the main attractions and railway station.

“This is a lovely hotel in a central location. You will feel welcome, safe and looked after.”
Friendly, welcoming staff who gave us good tips for local restaurants and thd best icecream shops. The hotel is so well placed that you can easily pop back in the day if you need to pick something up or, as in our case, change your clothes because of a downpour. A good breakfasr with nice pastries and cappucinos on request. Generous free cocktails (proper ones!).3 x a week. Watch out for the negronis. They're strong!

“Would definitely stay here again”
Everything was awesome! The bed was super comfortable, and I even got a bigger room than I originally booked, which was a lovely surprise. The interior is chic yet very cozy. The hotel is in a great location - all the main attractions and the train station are nearby. I also really enjoyed the breakfast.

“Comfortable stay in an excellent location”
The room was small but comfortable for one person and there was a wide choice of food at breakfast. The position of the hotel is excellent - a three minute walk from the station and tram stop - and it felt very safe walking around late at night and early in the morning to get the first tram (5am) back to the airport.

“An excellent base for our visit to Florence, we will definitely stay here at our next visit”
The breakfast room was lovely, the staff were very friendly and efficient and were more than happy to make cappuchinos etc. The room was spotless and very well made up each day, tea coffee and a coffee machine in the room as well as welcome sweets and a surprise bottle of wine - as we were celebrating a birthday! The location was excellent, a few minutes walk from a beautiful church, and square with excellent restaurants. Also a short walk to the Duomo, the Uffizi Art Gallery etc.
